Intercom Calling Search Space Configuration

An intercom calling search space comprises an ordered list of intercom route partitions that are typically assigned to devices. Intercom calling search spaces determine the partitions that calling devices search when they are attempting to complete a call.

For more detailed information on calling search spaces and partitions, refer to "Partitions and Calling Search Spaces" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide. For more information about intercom, refer to the "Intercom" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

Use the following topics to find, add, update, copy, or delete a calling search space:

The Find and List Intercom Calling Search Spaces window displays. Records from an active (prior) query may also display in the window.

Step 2 To find all records in the database, ensure the dialog box is empty; go to Step 3.

To filter or search records

•From the first drop-down list box, select a search parameter.

•From the second drop-down list box, select a search pattern.

•Specify the appropriate search text, if applicable.

Note To add additional search criteria, click the + button. When you add criteria, the system searches for a record that matches all criteria that you specify. To remove criteria, click the - button to remove the last added criterion or click the Clear Filter button to remove all added search criteria.

Step 3 Click Find.

All matching records display. You can change the number of items that display on each page by choosing a different value from the Rows per Page drop-down list box.

Note You can delete multiple records from the database by checking the check boxes next to the appropriate record and clicking Delete Selected. You can delete all configurable records for this selection by clicking Select All and then clicking Delete Selected.

Step 4 From the list of records that display, click the link for the record that you want to view.

Note To reverse the sort order, click the up or down arrow, if available, in the list header.

Intercom Calling Search Space Configuration Settings

Enter a name in the Intercom Calling Search Space Name field. The name can comprise up to 50 alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Ensure each calling search space name is unique to the system.

Note Use concise and descriptive names for your intercom calling search spaces. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format usually provides a sufficient level of detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a calling search space. For example, CiscoDallasMetroCS identifies a calling search space for toll-free, inter-local access and transport area (LATA) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas.

Description

Enter a description in the Description field. The description can comprise up to 50 alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_).

Intercom Route Partitions for this Calling Search Space

Available Intercom Partitions

Choose an intercom partition in the Available Partitions list box and add it to the Selected Partitions list box by clicking the arrow button between the two list boxes.

To add a range of intercom partitions at once, click the first intercom partition in the range; then, hold down the Shift key while clicking the last intercom partition in the range. Click the arrow button between the two list boxes to add the range of partitions.

To add multiple intercom partitions that are not contiguous, hold down the Control (Ctrl) key while clicking multiple intercom partitions. Click the arrow button between the two list boxes to add the chosen intercom partitions.

Note The length of the intercom partition names limits the maximum number of intercom partitions that can be added to an intercom calling search space. Table 48-2 provides examples of the maximum number of partitions that can be added to an intercom calling search space if intercom partition names are of fixed length.

Selected Partitions (Ordered by highest priority)

To change the priority of an intercom partition, choose an intercom partition name in the Selected Intercom Partitions list box. Move the intercom partition up or down in the list by clicking the arrows on the right side of the list box.

Table 48-2 provides examples of the maximum number of intercom partitions that can be added to a calling search space if partition names are of fixed length. Refer to "Partition Name Limitations" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for details about how this maximum number is calculated.

Deleting an Intercom Calling Search Space

The following procedure describes how to delete an intercom calling search space.

Before You Begin

You cannot delete calling search spaces that devices, lines (DNs), translation patterns, or other items are using. To find out which devices, lines, translation patterns, or other items are using the calling search space, choose the Dependency Records from the Related Links drop-down list box in the Calling Search Space Configuration window and click Go. If the dependency records are not enabled for the system, the dependency records summary window displays a message. For more information about dependency records, refer to the "Accessing Dependency Records" section on page A-2. If you try to delete a calling search space that is in use, Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays a message. Before deleting a calling search space that is currently in use, you must perform either or both of the following tasks:

Caution Before initiating this action, check carefully to ensure that you are deleting the correct intercom calling search space. You cannot retrieve deleted intercom calling search spaces. If an intercom calling search space is accidentally deleted, you must rebuild it.

Tip You can also delete an intercom calling search space by locating and displaying the intercom calling search space that you want to delete and clicking Delete.
